  • Payer Completion Date
    • This column will update to "Pending" when the Payer Only option is selected for fulfillment.
    • During busy seasons, the batch will update from pending to "In Process" within 1-2 business days.
    • A completion date will be entered once all Payers within the batch have been printed and mailed. This typically takes 4-5 business days.
  • Payee Completion Date
    • This column will update to "Pending" when any one of the Payee options has been selected for fulfillment.
    • During busy seasons, the batch will update from pending to "In Process" within 1-2 business days.

    • In process: Your batch has been submitted to the IRS. Note: It is normal for a batch to still be 'In process' after the filing deadline while the IRS examines all submissions.
    • Rejected: This is a rare occurrence and you will need to contact support@ftwilliam.com to check on your batch status.
    • Completed: We have received confirmation from the IRS that all submissions are 'GOOD'.
      • Completed: There are rare occasions when a filing marked for Federal and State fulfillment receives a rejection from the state. In this case the batch has completed and has made its way to both the IRS and the individual state, but the state has found an issue that needs to be resolved.

Preparing a .txt file for the FIRE website

Users can download files from ftwilliam.com for upload into the FIRE system. Note that for 8955-SSA forms each filing is uploaded separately - that is not the case for 1099s as user can upload the .txt files in a batch.

Before users are able to download .txt files, users must obtain a Transmitter Control Code (TCC) from the IRS to file on the FIRE system specifically for the 1099s. This is a 5-digit code and users will need to complete an IR Application to apply for one.

If users have a TCC code, or once users receive a TCC Code, the Master Admin user for the account will be able to update the account by navigating to the WK Logo > Administrative Tasks > Account Profile to update the "1099 TCC Code Information" box at the bottom of the screen. Be sure to click "Update" to save changes.

After the TCC Code is on file, users will need to prepare a batch and lock the batch. Once the batch is locked, users should click on the batch name in order to view the "Download Data for FIRE system" found below the "FIRE System" section. Clicking on the "Download Data for FIRE system" link will produce a text file (.txt) that users should save to the user's hard drive. Users will take the file(s) to the IRS website to upload to complete the Federal e-filing.

Review FIRE Data File: Users can re-upload the .txt file downloaded to test and confirm the data downloaded.
